Following up on his arrest in connection with the theft of property from offices and a supermarket, police searched the home of an 18-year-old unemployed man from another town in the same prefecture, and there found the stolen K-ON! figurines.

Also arrested was an accomplice, an unemployed 17-year-old youth. The pair are thought to have been part of a wider gang responsible for numerous other burglaries in the prefecture.

Investigators report they suspect the pair to have broken into the school early one morning, where they set about stealing 3 guitars, 20 figures and the unrecovered cash, over $1000 in all.

The boys explain their motive for the terrible crime: “We like K-ON! and wanted the figures.”

I was also thinking, why didn't they try to sell those guitars... compare the cash and all the figurines, if those guitars are the real deal (most likely), then they are worth more than what they kept.

But thinking again... whoever put those 'offerings' there probably at least memo'd down the serial#, making the simple ownership of it a hint to the crime. Forget selling it, he's gonna get identified super easily, or tracked back down eventually.

Well Gita is a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standard worth ~2,700USD and Mu Is a Fender Mustang (I don't recall the price) is pretty pricy and Elizebeth herself being a Fender Jazz Bass not being too pricy aside from the fact it's a lefty, these prices are from my area and the opinions are based on my budget so they may not be 100% but you'll get the idea? PS: Lefty instruments cost more to be converted (I play lefty so that I know *sadness...) Oh! and fun otaku fact about me! : I bought exact models of Gita, Mu, Elizebeth, and Mugi's Korg Triton Extreme Keyboard! (I would try to get Ritsu's Drums and Mugi's Keytar, but I am just learning drums and I don't know where'd I'd get a Keytar so I'm SOL I gues...)

Now now, I think these men deserve careful consideration and open respect regardless of their crimes. We must be able to listen to their dedication and recognize how much they love K-on, and thus, respond to their actions with a long, drawn out, and eloquent response:

Yeah....they ditch the guitars for the figurines. Are they Idiots. This is why the really horribly inflicted NEET OTAKUS will be rather stupid and always poor.

First of all, even if you are only going after the figurines, YOU JUST DON'T DITCH 60,000-100,000 yen guitars!!! You resell them and make a profit off of the stolen goods. Oh and when reselling them, you don't sell them online. I'm not supporting theft but seriously that's rather stupid. That's how you properly use a brain in criminal activities.

See, this is why I stopped watching K-ON! early: So I didn't become someone as crazy and obsessed with it as these people. I'm not saying liking K-ON! is a bad thing, it's just that some people need to know their limits when obsessing oer something.
